1. e4 e5 2. Nc3
|
Probably my favorite opening as white |
 
|
| |
|
|
2... Bc5
|
More common are 2. ...Nc6 and Nf6 |
|
| |
|
|
3. f4
|
A bit risky due to the bishop eyeing down the a7-g1 diagonal but I can't resist Vienna's Gambit |
|
| |
|
|
3... Qf6
|
Very odd, later seems just as a disrespectful move, now I can't take fxe5 |
|
| |
|
|
4. Nd5
|
Giving the queen something to think about |
|
| |
|
|
4... Qd6
|
Better was simply retreating to d8 |
|
| |
|
|
5. Qg4
|
For the attack! |
|
| |
|
|
5... g6 6. Nf3 exf4
|
Weakening move, now I can conquer the center and go on with my attack |
|
| |
|
|
7. d4 Bb4+ 8. c3 Ba5 9. Bxf4 Qc6 10. Bg5
|
Already considering mating possibilities, here I thought about exchanging my d5 knight with opponent's g8 knight and then stick my bishop and queen into d8 and e7. It didn't work exactly as planned and here I was looking at an unpleasant move from my opponent |

I didn't expect this but felt that I can even sacrifice the d5 knight to fuel the attack if 11. ... fxe4 and 12. ... Qxd5 |
|

11. Qh4 Qe6 12. Bc4

X-raying the queen |

All my minor pieces are in the hunt |

14... d6 15. Nf7

I calculated this for a couple of minutes and proudly presented the knight |
|
| |
|
|
15... Kxf7 16. Nxc7+ Kg7 17. O-O Bxc7
|
Rash decision, had to play 17. ... Bf5 to block the mate |

Beautiful mate after sacrificing two knights, against a higher rated opponent as well! |
